It’s a tactic called “he don’t know what the fuck he’s doing” and it’s where you focus on things like brands you have no share or ownership in yet you decide “I think I’ll change that name back” only 3 more years

The redskins tribe actually wants it back , not sure about Cleveland Indians (if that belonged to certain corresponding tribe). I’m sure it made them a lot of money

I know this is a talking point that’s been circulated around but there’s no consensus among native Americans about bringing the name back or not

They originally got rid of it because of Native American backlash. Not so much because of “woke white liberals” or whatever people online are saying

The family of the redskins tribe who inspired the logo has come out and said they want it to return for obvious reasons (money , tradition , etc.)

Why would native Americans want a professional football team to keep a name that’s been used as a slur against them

There’s also not evidence they profited off of the name or team
